There's some Halo: Combat Evolved for PC
news on GameSpot with a status report on the PC version of the Xbox shooter.
The article recounts the history of this project as a PC/Mac project that was
assimilated into an Xbox project upcoming Microsoft's acquisition of Bungie, how
Gearbox happened to become involved in the PC port, some of the technical
hurdles they have vied with, what parts of the "about 40% done"
project they have completed, plans to add next-gen graphics card and internet
support, and more.

". the online playability of the system DEMANDS that everyone has the same setup, or those with the keyboard/mouse will rule all, even if they have minimal skills. it's a balance issue, and only those who think it's ok to cheat in multiplayer would think it's ok for a mouse to show up on the Xbox."

Well this sortof flys in the face of all the stupid gamepad supporters who claim that the gamepad is 'just as good'...
